It’s a new free, online E Safety programme for parents and carers that Parent Zone have launched. Funded by the Prevent Innovation Fund, Resilient Families is comprised of three short guided presentations with voice overs, hosted on our website. Currently, the voice over is only in English but the Urdu and Somali version will be added this week. The programme covers:

Your children’s online world – what children do online and where they go

The dangers and where they lurk – how extremist groups use the internet to influence children and young people, the messages they give and what they miss out

How confident digital parenting can help protect young people from this misinformation, and how to become the voice your children turn to

As this is a pilot, the evaluation is really important so that we can understand if our message and delivery is understandable and useful to parents and carers looking for information about online radicalisation.

There is a short survey that appears at either the beginning or the end of the programme (depending on which day you view it) and we’re hoping that parents will fill this in to help us with the development of the rollout, should we be successful. The pilot only runs until the end of June so please do share widely.
